Expensify
Of all the apps I’ve tried, Expensify is the one most geared towards business expenses. You can use it for personal expense tracking, but the options are limited and Expensify really doesn’t cater to non-business related expenses. Categories, for example, run along the lines of “lodging,” “meals” or “fuel/mileage.”
You can enter your expenses and snap a picture of an accompanying receipt, and file it to a specific expense report. Expensify lets you log hours spent on a project, as well as any car mileage and car expenses used for a business trip.
Analytics are not available on the app, but are accessible through the web version of Expensify, where you can view your expenses as illustrated through line graphs, pie charts, or bar graphs.
The Expensify app is, at the moment, a little lacking. The Expensify experience is much richer on the web version, which is a con for users who want to be able to review expenses in-depth on the go.
Expensify has a robust system online that allows smaller businesses and bigger corporations to add employees to an Expensify account. Features include integration with various external accounts (Evernote, QuickBooks, FreshBooks) and direct deposit reimbursement.
Expensify is effective for businesses, but ultimately, because I was looking for a personal finance product, I couldn’t get much use out of it.
